Sleater-Kinney split

Sleater-Kinney have announced they are to split after eleven years, according to a statement on their official website. The girl trio’s last gig will be their appearance at the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago on 4 August.

The statement reads: “After eleven years as a band, Sleater-Kinney have decided to go on indefinite hiatus. The upcoming summer shows will be our last. As of now, there are no plans for future tours or recordings. We feel lucky to have had the support of many wonderful people over the years. We want to thank everyone who has worked with us, written kind words about us, performed with us and inspired us.”
